I don't know what I was expecting going into this book but it isn't what I got.
First of all - this book is very well written with some stunning and shocking statements about sex, sexuality and sexual abuse. I found the writing style entirely compelling and I read this book cover to cover in a couple of hours despite the subject matter.
I just didn't really understand why this book was written. The ending was very abrupt to me and nothing really seemed to be resolved, and there were moments in this book where I lost the plot a bit and didn't really understand what was going on which is a shame because where I did manage to get a hold of the plot it was a really compelling story.
This book is very unsettling, but I don't think it's as disturbing as many people make it out to be. I feel a little uncomfortable with the idea that this book is lumped together with monsters like Hogg but I suppose the spectrum of disturbing is entirely personal.
It's a good book and I'll never read it again. Three stars.
